I'm looking to ditch the RFTs and was pricing up some replacements. It would seem Michelin Super Sports are the way to go. The only problem being is they don't make them in 255/35R18 which is the oem rear size for mine(18" oem 5 spoke alloy)
Instead of getting
225/40R18 fronts
255/35R18 rears
If I were to get
225/40R18 fronts
265/35R18 rears
Would there be any issue with fitment or performance?

image.jpgDon't want to through a spanner in the works but I have pilot sports on the F30 and put a set of these Hankooks on the 335d and think there a great tyre
Have heard good things about those, also the Uniroyal rainsport 3s.
On my list I had
Conti sport contact 5
Michelin supersport
Michelin PS3
Goodyear Asymetric 2
Uniroyal Rainsport 3
The problem with online tyre reviews is everyone has mixed bag of reviews from people who say they are the best tyre ever to people that say they are always spinning up :/

That's the same list I had for the 530i. The 2014 Evo tyre review settled it for me and I went for PS3s as ContiSportContact5s didn't come in the right size and the relatively poor result for the Pirellis and Goodyears for comfort ruled them out

Yeah, the only reason I'm hesitant about the PS3 is that they are around few years and the true successor to the PS2 is actually the PSS. The CS5s are as new as the PSS, Discount tyres in blanch are going to call me tomorrow with a price for them, so they are a strong contender too.
Try Autodepot.ie too. I'd never used them till recently and found them very good to deal with.
If you can get CS5s in the right size Id just go with them, I think they're a smashing tyre
Ordered the set of CS5s from Oponeo for €552 with free delivery, slightly cheaper than camskill and over €200 cheaper than local places. Will have to get the fathers Octavia estate to cart them down to Scullys to fit them :happy:
Looking forward to ditching these Bridgestone RTFs!

Some serious savings to be made online but you do have the hassle of lugging the tyres around to a select few fitters who will actually fit them for you.Christ I paid 420 for two rears, balancing and laser alignment at Tyre Land in Swords last week
